    @that_kind_oforc Blizzard is basically trying to control the narrative around the company by making it positive on many levels But without real solutions for the main issues for the games they market for (Diablo , overwatch and wow)

  • Ackackadack1 Jesse (@Ackackadack1) reported

    "Watched some Overwatch 2 & it mostly looked like Overwatch 1" is my code for "I'm not ready to fall in love with playing launch day Lucio & have my heart broken when he gets nerfed & lose all motivation to stay relevant" So anyway, watched some Overwatch 2 & it mostly looked...

  • StolteNick Nick (@StolteNick) reported

    @Staymares @edvard_wahl @Apply This was always overwatch’s problem. No one wants to play tank or support. I think support is pretty fun, but it’s clear most of the player base would rather never play those classes.

  • geochad71 Pempfist71 (@geochad71) reported

    @BlizzardCS How about screw Overwatch and get them off the main Battlenet login

  • agttsuma tre (@agttsuma) reported

    ow2 is just overwatch but makes my computer lag x100

  • yllzgf bruja ⁷𖤐 (@yllzgf) reported

    apex has mentally broken me so bad that im gonna reinstall overwatch

  • DotBot_exe Dot/Bot (@DotBot_exe) reported

    @Dasnerth Game isn’t like league, similar fundamentals, different types of utility. Csgo doesn’t have a role system nor R6S because it would fall victim to the overwatch problem where the devs force metas upon the players rather than what works extremely well or what best suits the game.

  • Mielfia Fia(JTF) (@Mielfia) reported

    Overwatch 2 seems kind of similar but speed up, it's decent. The main problem I have with the beta is that it takes 5+ minutes to get into a match as support, and it goes up by a lot for dps & tank.

  • macherrome chérrome (@macherrome) reported

    The big problem here is I understand nothing. Never played or watched Overwatch before loooool
